Hello, Don't worry, you are not crazy. Today is not Tuesday and the blog schedule isn't changing. But today has been tough and I'm just pissed and I come here to vent, so here goes it. To say I am disappointed by the state of events would be the biggest understatement of my life. I am pissed but I managed to avoid situations that will expose that anger until someone decided to get on my last nerve via watsapp. Without permission (I am not feeling that generous), please find the candid conversation below: Person: Oby Me: Yea? Person: Have you finished? Me: … [Read more...]
Midweek Encouragement – Joy
Have you ever seen one of those “I finally left him” memes on instagram? You know, the ones of a woman who looks to be in her 80s, wearing a big smile on her face? Okay so, I logged into my personal instagram page last weekend and when I did, that was the first photo I saw. When I saw it, I cringed. Maybe it was because I once invested time in a man who never saw himself with me. Or maybe it was because I know others who have experienced this also.

Appreciate the Moment
Yesterday I was anxious about somethings and found myself feeling some type of way. So I hit up my soulmee (Hi Soulmee!!?) and as always, she made me feel better.

My Subway Love
Years ago, one of my sisters saw a guy in the train, asked "are you Ekene's friend?" the guy said “yes” and they became friends. Fast forward to Wednesday night, I was on the train ride home when I saw the most beautiful man. Tall, dark chocolate skin and a great body. Tall! He was laughing at whatever his friend was telling him while I watched. Chai, I was in awe. I didn't remove my eyes from this guy. I couldn't. I didn't pretend to be on my phone. I didn’t bring out the book I had to appear intelligent. I just continued to stare. Eventually, his friend got off … [Read more...]
I don’t “Dear Future Husband”
Happy Hump Day People! I hope you are having an amazing (and productive) week thus far! Okay so, I was “concentrating” on my work, minding my business when I received a watsapp message from a good friend of mine. It read “Dear Future husband, I ran 2 miles this morning. You’re welcome.” I replied “lmao! please eh, no too vex, but what does your workout have to do with my future in law?” Her response, “well not everyone likes working out like you. I am doing it to keep my body tight for his bragging rights.” (I only have permission to share to this point of our … [Read more...]
